00:00:00
hey everyone welcome back to my channel
00:00:02
those of you who are new here my name is
00:00:03
Jax I am a registered nutritionist and a
00:00:06
specialist in exercise therapy what I do
00:00:08
is I share my experience of my anorexia
00:00:10
recovery I struggled with anorexia for
00:00:12
15 years I've been in recovery for about
00:00:15
six seven months now after my recent
00:00:17
diagnosis with osteoporosis which I
00:00:19
spoke about on my channel a lot of you
00:00:21
reached out to me so two things that I
00:00:23
have is osteoporosis and hyperthermic
00:00:26
amenorrhea which is no period which has
00:00:28
been about six years now what I'm doing
00:00:30
is I'm showing you how I treat my
00:00:31
patients by the way I'm treating myself
00:00:33
at the moment in my recovery and I have
00:00:36
worked a lot with doctors as well
00:00:37
throughout this process and a lot of you
00:00:39
are going through the same things that
00:00:41
have reached out to me so what I'm doing
00:00:43
today is I'm show you how I eat
00:00:45
typically away from a challenge like the
00:00:47
day after a challenge and pretty much
00:00:49
how I live my life to fix heal and
00:00:51
reverse this whole nasty situation we go
00:00:53
on here because we don't need no weeks
00:00:55
or bones right now in this thing and if
00:00:58
I and I made a commitment that I'm gonna
00:01:00
build myself up strong enough to compete
00:01:02
in an Ironman next year so that's what
00:01:05
I'm doing now that is the plan that's
00:01:07
something good old a vision board as we
00:01:09
like to call it and so today it's just a
00:01:11
day that I'm showing you a full day of
00:01:13
eating the way I would the way I would
00:01:15
want to eat too quickly fast-track my
00:01:17
recovery to the point where I'm the
00:01:19
strongest I've ever been in my entire
00:01:20
life mentally and physically trust me it
00:01:23
ain't been yet I have a lot of snotty
00:01:24
cries after some challenge days not
00:01:27
gonna lie to you but so that's why I
00:01:29
love sharing this whole process the ups
00:01:31
down look good that that and if you're
00:01:33
in a similar place and you want a friend
00:01:35
to go on the ride with you then join me
00:01:37
on my channel join me on my journey
00:01:38
you'll like this video subscribe to my
00:01:40
channel and let's get straight into it
00:01:44
I was a little out I know but the thing
00:02:21
is as you wake up in the morning you
00:02:22
want to eat within about an hour an hour
00:02:25
to an hour and a half after waking up so
00:02:27
that your body doesn't start producing
00:02:28
cortisol at this that I made this
00:02:30
morning it was really high in fats and
00:02:32
maleic acid so that is in the peanut
00:02:34
butter it's in the coconut almond milk I
00:02:37
used two coconut faced milk as well
00:02:39
because it has natural coconut cream in
00:02:41
it again the fats will help you absorb
00:02:43
everything that's in the meal itself and
00:02:46
then pecans again which are really high
00:02:48
in vitamin C which is essential for skin
00:02:50
health bone health remember little
00:02:53
vitamins and minerals are actually
00:02:54
carriers it helps your body to absorb
00:02:56
the things like the calcium everything
00:02:58
like that in it but I start my day off
00:03:00
with a very high light Cobb dents hearty
00:03:03
meal so that my body has constant field
00:03:05
throughout the day so it's like
00:03:07
constantly it never gets into a stage
00:03:09
where it's at a deficit during the day
00:03:10
or at a stage where it's trying to find
00:03:13
resources for energy because then it
00:03:15
starts breaking down muscles it starts
00:03:18
using and compromising your other
00:03:20
systems in your body so you want to do
00:03:21
this is like what that thank you ma'am
00:03:23
this is like that pretty much face punch
00:03:26
to your body as you wake up it's not as
00:03:28
aggressive as it sounds it's a little
00:03:30
loving face punch it's like oh I'm gonna
00:03:31
I'm gonna help you realize I should have
00:03:34
really used another analogy but that's
00:03:36
pretty much it and remember the date
00:03:37
syrup is really high in magnesium and
00:03:39
manganese date syrup has been pretty
00:03:42
much my little miracle my little miracle
00:03:46
juice we're all about that period and
00:03:48
bone life on this this biscuits channel
00:03:52
and refer to myself as a biscuit random
00:03:55
thought but what's your favorite
00:03:56
biscuits
00:03:57
let me know in the comment section down
00:03:58
below well before I go for my shower
00:04:01
animal disgusting and gross yuck Jax I'm
00:04:05
going to show you some of the things
00:04:06
that I take so the first thing is a
00:04:09
calcium making oh come on focus
00:04:13
it just calcium magnesium and a zinc
00:04:15
supplement because again your body needs
00:04:17
magnesium and zinc to help absorb the
00:04:19
calcium all three of them work together
00:04:21
with the with your body I do take a
00:04:23
prescription based vitamin D supplement
00:04:25
and that is just a once in the week but
00:04:27
once in a week type of thing next we
00:04:29
have this glucosamine and chondroitin
00:04:31
it's one of those these are the joints
00:04:35
itself because if you stabilize the
00:04:37
joints and they don't put pressure on
00:04:38
the rest of your bones as much so I'm
00:04:40
trying to build up the collagen in my
00:04:42
joints for cartilage I do take the
00:04:44
collagen supplement as well but as a
00:04:46
powder that I'm gonna show you later on
00:04:47
that I put in my smoothies at UCF that
00:04:50
is like my afternoon snack and then I
00:04:52
take glutamine powder now a lot of body
00:04:57
builders use glutamine because all
00:04:59
that's used in helping to repair the
00:05:01
muscle so if you rip it a lot during a
00:05:02
gym session it repairs it now the same
00:05:05
in any type of recovery or any type of
00:05:07
osteoporosis osteopenia your muscles and
00:05:10
your bones need that aid to recover with
00:05:12
an essential amino acid which is
00:05:14
glutamine that is why this has been
00:05:16
incredible incredible incredible and if
00:05:19
I said it a fourth time would that make
00:05:21
a difference if it did okay incredible
00:05:23
everything is completely natural it's an
00:05:26
amino acid which your body produces
00:05:27
anyway it's curbs it helps the whole
00:05:29
process along but like I said you can't
00:05:31
overdo it on these type of things
00:05:33
because they are completely natural
00:05:34
which is what I like
00:05:38
I smacks probably look more like a mini
00:06:02
meal now what that was and now that
00:06:05
helps with my buddy is what I always
00:06:08
make sure that I have is a high fat good
00:06:10
quality source of calcium so his full
00:06:12
fat Greek yogurt and your body actually
00:06:14
needs the fat to help absorb the calcium
00:06:16
and it also needs the fat to help
00:06:18
lubricate your joints next thing I used
00:06:21
was the chia seeds now what cheer seeds
00:06:23
do is they have Omega threes in omega
00:06:25
sixes and that's an anti-inflammatory
00:06:28
fat what that does is that's gonna help
00:06:31
deep flame around the joint and it's
00:06:33
gonna help reduce any of the tension
00:06:34
stiffness or soreness around the joints
00:06:36
themself next we have purple papaya
00:06:39
whatever you want to call it it's like
00:06:41
that potato potato
00:06:42
but what poor-poor does is it has the
00:06:44
digestive enzymes to help your body
00:06:46
actually digest the meal you've just had
00:06:48
and absorb the nutrients from it so if
00:06:50
your gut is functioning well it can
00:06:52
gather every single beautiful thing that
00:06:55
you've just put in that bowl dragon
00:06:57
fruit because I love dragon fruit and it
00:06:59
helps you poop that little seeds in a
00:07:01
fiber it's gorgeous but always making
00:07:03
sure that you have a also vitamin C it's
00:07:05
what helps your body absorb the
00:07:07
magnesium Alma calcium so you need the
00:07:09
fats and vitamin C together so that you
00:07:12
can actually extract the calcium now if
00:07:14
you are vegan I would recommend going to
00:07:16
like a cashew base yogurt instead of a
00:07:18
coconut yogurt because there is a lot of
00:07:21
fats and proteins together and vitamin E
00:07:24
in the cashew itself and of course
00:07:26
having me bread with the cottage cheese
00:07:28
and the strawberry yogurt again it just
00:07:30
ups the calories a bit gives your body
00:07:32
extra energy to repair and heal any
00:07:34
damage that there is done cottage cheese
00:07:36
is a beautiful form of calcium protein
00:07:40
and fats together so I like to mix and
00:07:43
combine my meals because the way your
00:07:45
body can get calcium
00:07:47
and a something from cottage cheese to
00:07:49
yogurt to milk it's the same as
00:07:52
different cuts of meat it's all has
00:07:54
different types of strains of calcium
00:07:57
different strands of magnesium different
00:08:00
strands of vitamin D so just making sure
00:08:03
you have like a diverse various range of
00:08:05
sources to extract everything then
00:08:07
finally with the pomegranate seeds
00:08:09
pomegranate surprisingly enough is so
00:08:11
high in iron which is great especially
00:08:14
if you're in recovery try to get your
00:08:16
period back and remember the more blood
00:08:18
you have the more you can actually heal
00:08:20
joints it's why I like a like a cut can
00:08:23
feel itchy when it's healing it's just
00:08:25
all the blood flow to the area so that's
00:08:28
my little meal breakdown
00:08:31
[Music]
00:08:37
[Music]
00:08:43
[Music]
00:08:51
[Music]
00:08:54
we having for lunch was a butter sauteed
00:08:57
kale if you have told me three weeks ago
00:09:00
that I would be eating butter like three
00:09:02
times a day I would have said you were
00:09:03
freaking insane but binge David asked
00:09:06
free from the bulletproof journals and
00:09:08
you look at all these science facts that
00:09:09
he's about your body needs butter make
00:09:11
sure it's grass-fed as well the bones in
00:09:14
these sardines have the omegas they have
00:09:16
cartilage in it as well which is really
00:09:18
important and collagen they're pretty
00:09:21
much if I could say live off one thing
00:09:23
to heal your bones it would be salmon or
00:09:26
sardines bones which is why I choose it
00:09:28
can instead of pressure so that I can
00:09:30
actually eat the bones I can get all the
00:09:32
cartilage all the collagen from it and
00:09:34
it's going straight to my bones also
00:09:36
remember it has the Omega threes and
00:09:38
sixes which are anti-inflammatory and
00:09:41
the inflammation is the most important
00:09:43
thing when it comes to regulating your
00:09:45
hormones just helping to lubricate your
00:09:48
joint so again there's no pain there is
00:09:50
no more wearing down of any muscle any
00:09:52
bone it is pretty much a powerhouse then
00:09:56
I had my egg as well in there again I
00:09:58
wanted the healthy fats the healthy
00:09:59
proteins that's all choline which is
00:10:02
again it's the most important thing for
00:10:04
inflammation in the body and think about
00:10:07
it most autoimmune diseases come from
00:10:09
inflammation so yes the sauteed kale may
00:10:13
choke us kill is very high in vitamin C
00:10:15
so it helps your body absorb every
00:10:17
single thing that you've just eaten that
00:10:19
a fats in the butter and the vitamin C
00:10:21
investment and kale are what helps your
00:10:23
body actually get the nutrients out of
00:10:25
every single thing that you saw in that
00:10:27
meal and then I had some smashed avocado
00:10:29
on toast because I was feeling extra and
00:10:32
they wanted a but now I'm gonna have to
00:10:34
go change because I'm teaching yoga and
00:10:37
I'm gonna take a couple protein bars
00:10:38
with me and by the way if you don't have
00:10:40
time or resources to make your own date
00:10:42
balls or date bars it's fine get anyone
00:10:45
off the shelf it's all about not being
00:10:47
stressed during your healing process so
00:10:49
just take any snack
00:10:50
that feels good to you like a cornflakes
00:10:52
bar or rice krispies bar the one like
00:10:55
dipped in yogurt though it's all the
00:10:56
best
00:10:57
olara bar rx bar anything you want it's
00:11:00
just about keeping a constant supply of
00:11:02
fuel in your body so as you'll see I
00:11:04
have more like meals throughout the day
00:11:06
instead of just a snack like a banana or
00:11:10
an apple I hae make them into full-blown
00:11:12
meals because again I'm just trying to
00:11:14
constantly feel it so there's never
00:11:15
never a point but my body's reaching
00:11:18
into my muscles for energy or breaking
00:11:19
down any of that every single little bit
00:11:21
of resource that has it goes to
00:11:23
rebuilding my bones back from teaching
00:11:25
it's like five o'clock now before I get
00:11:27
in the shower I'm just gonna make myself
00:11:28
a quick snack so make myself a quick
00:11:31
snack I made this smoothie now I want to
00:11:33
show you guys one of the things that's
00:11:35
really been helping me in my recovery
00:11:38
so this beauty balm
00:11:42
this is called beauty from and it is
00:11:44
from the Matt to reserve now what I love
00:11:46
about this product is it has marine
00:11:48
collagen in it collagen is essentially
00:11:51
what builds up our bones our joints our
00:11:53
body it creates new things but we're
00:11:56
born with a lot of collagen as babies
00:11:58
but as human beings we don't produce any
00:12:00
which is why it's essential to get it in
00:12:02
from other sources
00:12:03
it's what rebuilds of your joints and
00:12:05
helps especially with things like our
00:12:08
practice osteoporosis that now what I
00:12:10
love specifically about the much reserve
00:12:12
is they also have maca in it marker
00:12:15
which is known for balancing hormones
00:12:16
and giving your body some energy
00:12:18
throughout the day without the caffeine
00:12:20
necessarily and then blueberry so it has
00:12:22
a blueberry powder which is a really
00:12:24
high source of antioxidants again those
00:12:27
antioxidants your body needs it to
00:12:29
repair itself let's put this in the
00:12:31
smoothie I'm gonna list the ingredients
00:12:33
of the smoothie in the somewhere on the
00:12:36
screen because I'm gonna chug this down
00:12:38
then I'm going to go shower and then
00:12:41
I'll let you see what I'm having for
00:12:42
dinner sure seems to be the best thing
00:12:47
that you've ever had though it's got
00:12:50
there you can see the seeds from the
00:12:51
Kiwi yeah you guys get your hands on
00:12:56
collagen powder I would highly recommend
00:12:58
it because like I said it is made the
00:13:01
biggest difference in me with my joint
00:13:03
stiffness everything like that I've
00:13:06
noticed my body healing my hair growing
00:13:08
thicker and the mattress of again is
00:13:10
because they've had the cleanest
00:13:12
ingredients and you know what the way I
00:13:14
used to pika and I'm so much of a
00:13:17
product nut especially as a nutritionist
00:13:20
I'm very worried over what I recommend
00:13:22
to other people now I do have three
00:13:24
other things that I have from the matcha
00:13:26
reserve but I'll show you that in
00:13:28
another video because this video I'm
00:13:30
keeping mainly based on bones the next
00:13:32
one I'm gonna be doing it's gonna be
00:13:34
very focused on hypothermic amenorrhea
00:13:36
the products that I take for that so
00:13:39
we're just gonna keep it nice simple and
00:13:40
easy this video
00:13:47
[Music]
00:13:57
[Music]
00:14:14
okay so what you guys just told me half
00:14:17
that for dinner was my steak fajitas I
00:14:19
wasn't even planning on having that
00:14:21
tonight and what made this meal so good
00:14:23
was I wanted something really high in
00:14:25
iron amino acids protein and good fats
00:14:29
and steak hairs all of the above that
00:14:31
was my biggest fear food up until slowly
00:14:33
adding them in thank you so much again
00:14:35
challenge me now because I would always
00:14:38
advise it declines trying to build up
00:14:40
bone strength it's one of the best
00:14:42
things to build up your your bones your
00:14:45
muscles there is so much more to state
00:14:47
than just protein it's the essential
00:14:49
amino acids then it mainly in meat so if
00:14:52
you are vegan then I would look for
00:14:54
amino acid supplements you know it's
00:14:56
usually really good for that but anyway
00:14:58
and then I have the vitamin C once again
00:15:00
in the red peppers for the veggie mix so
00:15:03
my body cuz absorb everything that was
00:15:05
in the food itself remember you need a
00:15:07
water-soluble the vitamin so that
00:15:09
everything can be absorbed from your
00:15:10
bones from your blood and the
00:15:13
combinations that make a big big big
00:15:15
difference
00:15:16
I had the carbs from the wraps from the
00:15:19
potatoes and the pumpkin which again had
00:15:21
vitamin A and vitamin C once again blood
00:15:24
and bones and the thing that made
00:15:28
tonight's meal pretty difficult is my
00:15:30
family all had steamed fish and veggies
00:15:32
but I knew my body needs more than that
00:15:35
right now so you've got to be big enough
00:15:37
to the most difficult thing for me has
00:15:40
been comparing my meals to the people
00:15:42
around me but essentially I was like
00:15:44
okay I could cheat myself eat what
00:15:46
everyone else is eating but that's not
00:15:48
sufficient enough for my body right now
00:15:51
it means I cook the steak in the butter
00:15:53
it needs the fact it needs the specific
00:15:56
amino acid profiles of all those
00:15:59
wonderful glorious things and I
00:16:01
of course I always finish off my day
00:16:03
with the most important macronutrient
00:16:05
which is soul food so I'm probably gonna
00:16:09
have my mint chocolate chip ice cream
00:16:10
and maybe another protein bought
00:16:14
actually one that I'm into at the moment
00:16:17
these are the coconut ones from the
00:16:19
health lab now they the reason why I
00:16:22
love these is they have protein powder
00:16:25
in it I would remember protein powder is
00:16:27
great because the amino acids that it
00:16:29
contains with it then this one also has
00:16:31
coconut oil
00:16:32
Kanoa which is again full of the amino
00:16:36
acids pretty much a bone bomb so it
00:16:41
looks like there's been a little house
00:16:42
mouse or house wrapped aching a family
00:16:45
member that has been digging into my
00:16:46
mint choc chip so I have vanilla anyway
00:16:49
so I mixed vanilla and mint chocolate
00:16:51
chip which is just amazing
00:16:53
[Music]
00:17:06
I like to have something pretty high in
00:17:09
fat and calories before any go to bed
00:17:11
which is why I have the full fat ice
00:17:12
cream like made with proper cream like a
00:17:15
real stuff because your body has the
00:17:18
most amount of energy to use while
00:17:20
you're sleeping to heal and repair
00:17:21
itself and that's one of the best best
00:17:23
things you can offer to it so having
00:17:27
something with a lot of calories so that
00:17:28
your body can de wrecks those calories
00:17:30
while you're sleeping remember all the
00:17:32
healing and repair reparation in your
00:17:34
body takes place at night then the final
00:17:37
thing that I do is I have a tea every
00:17:39
single night I'll show you what ta have
00:17:42
this is called Conti now this has
00:17:45
magnesium in it once again magnesium is
00:17:47
really important for building your bones
00:17:48
but also it reduces stress and cortisol
00:17:51
in the body so it helps you get into a
00:17:53
deeper sleep state and the deeper your
00:17:55
sleep state the more your body again is
00:17:57
in that beta state so it's going to
00:17:59
repair itself guys this has been the
00:18:02
biggest came to game changer in my
00:18:04
stress levels my recovery I managed to
00:18:06
get into deeper REM sleep this is really
00:18:10
guys I can't recommend this enough find
00:18:13
a magnesium supplement and take it
00:18:15
before bed anyway I hope this video was
